Recognising credible information matters. So do accessible libraries, clear public information and platforms that let people respond or correct errors. Literacy isn’t only an individual responsibility. #Communication #Psychology #SciComm empowervmediacomm.blogspot.com/2026/10/unde...

Media literacy is bigger than asking, “Is this fake?” It also means being able to access, evaluate, use, create and communicate information responsibly. #Communication #Psychology #SciComm Our latest explainer: empowervmediacomm.blogspot.com/2026/10/medi...

Media Literacy Is Not a Fact-Checking Trick
Beyond misinformation detection, media literacy helps us access, judge, use, create and communicate information with greater awareness and agency.

Meaning does not sit inside the message alone. It develops through interaction and through the social and institutional context surrounding the exchange. #Communication #Psychology #SciComm empowervmediacomm.blogspot.com/2026/09/a-me...

Why did someone share a message? “Because they believed it” may be true, but incomplete. Groups, organisations and media systems may also have shaped what reached them and why. #Psychology #Communication #EduSky empowervmediacomm.blogspot.com/2026/09/from...

“Trauma”, “gaslighting”, “boundaries”, “narcissist”: more psychological vocabulary can mean more insight, recognition and help-seeking. It can also mean more self-diagnosis, overreach and lost nuance. #Psychology #Communication #EduSky empowervmediacomm.blogspot.com/2026/09/what...
